Chapter 29 gossip kowtow hello

A few days ago, a few friends who are engaged in film and television directors came to chat with Shexia, and they talked about kowtow to greet some etiquette.Someone said: "Nowadays when performing dramas with upright officials, kowtows are always indispensable. Let's talk about these today, shall we?" Unexpectedly, there are still people who love to hear these stories about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds. When it comes to kowtow, both Manchu and Han people in the north and south of China kowtow when they salute.As for greeting etiquette, apart from the official circles that have been eliminated before, only flag people are prevalent.People in the north celebrate birthdays and birthdays. In various celebrations and ceremonies, some kneel down three times and kowtow nine times, and some kneel down and kowtow three times.In formal kowtow, you should kowtow straight to your waist, place your hands vertically on the ground, and look straight at your eyes.Some people kowtow and bow their hands. People in Peiping call this kind of kowtow, which is not common in officialdom.Several famous eunuch families in the south, because they have been serving as Beijing officials for a long time, learned from officials everywhere, kowtowed to each other frequently, and kowtowed to each other until they reached their knees.

Please An was originally a greeting ceremony for Manchurians.For one leg, bend your left leg straight, put your left hand on your knee, bend your right leg back, keep your eyes on the same level, and keep your head up;This is an authentic ceremony to ask for orders and secure your legs.As for asking for peace with one leg and vertical hands, that's called hitting a thousand. It's the etiquette of servants, and it's not considered a greeting; if you suddenly come to a place where you should greet, it's considered a disgrace.As for when and for whom to make a list of legs and both legs, although there are no fixed rules, it is generally not bad for elders to have both legs and peers to have one leg.

In addition to kowtow to pay respects, there are three kinds of Manchu people who salute very special.First, when the in-laws meet each other, they just greet each other, but the in-laws and mothers meet each other with special etiquette.When the in-laws and mothers met each other, they stretched out their hands in opposition. A shake of each other's hand was regarded as a courtesy, but the gesture of shaking hands with Westerners was quite different.Second, brother-in-law and sister-in-law are not allowed to meet each other, they have to avoid each other. If they have to meet each other, they will not greet each other, put their feet together, as if standing at attention, and this term is probably not used anymore. people know.Third, when a sister-in-law sees her uncle, no matter whether it is to salute or say hello, the uncle can only return a "half bow". faux pas.Some people say that there are different winds in the north and the south. From this point of view, it is not wrong at all.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, I attended a wedding banquet in the Qinghe Hall in Beiping, and there was a Jin Panji in the seat. Everyone called him Sanye An, and he was the third son of Xun Qingtao Baylor.A group of young people were chatting happily when they suddenly reported that Tao Belle had arrived.This Mr. An immediately walked out of the house quickly, and knelt down outside the second door, regardless of whether the ground was clean or not, he just knelt down straight.Tao Belle walked past him, turning a blind eye, and walked in proudly, and he slowly got up.After a few days, when I think of the scene where the father and son ignored each other on the one hand and panicked on the other hand, I still feel unspeakably awkward!

Women's greetings are called "please squat down", and the depth of knees bending when greetings is also very particular.How deep should you ask for the elders, how deep should you ask for the peers, each has a different size.The flag women stationed in various places greeted peace more deeply than the women in Beijing, and each person knew the identity and flag identity of the other party at a glance.Back then, Zhangzhidong (Xiangtao)’s family in Nanpi and Li Hongzhang’s (Shaoquan) family in Hefei were all Han Chinese, and they were both tainted with some flag rituals. As soon as men and women greeted each other, they felt that the greeting was not quite right.

The younger generation greets the elders, and the elders want to extend their hands, which is called "receiving greetings".If you are polite, use both hands, and if you are not polite, use one hand.The hand stretches far, near, high and low, and there is a lot of difference. Please accept that both parties have their own feelings, and they cannot understand it if they are not the parties. In Peking Opera, "Si Lang Visits His Mother" greets the most. Mei Lanfang and Cheng Yanqiu's greetings are both moderate in depth and generous in style. As for the greetings in modern TV court dramas, everyone holds a silk scarf in their hands. Before greetings, they seem to touch their heads or shake the silk scarves. On the day of your brother's name, please greet me in the dry boat style.Although the mouth is too harsh, but compared with the reward-receiving posture of the Beiping dry boat in those days, it is indeed very lifelike-there is no difference!
